Thank you Martina. It did take me a lot of time but I enjoyed doing it which is not very usual for me because landscapes somehow don't give me the satisfaction a portrait does... but this one I found attractive and pleasant to do. I've made a few adjustments and have taken another picture of it in better lighting. I am definitely calling it done now.

Excellent, Rose! It doesn't look like you need any further lessons in acrylics as you are doing absolutely great at them. Landscapes can be boring but I really feel that you learn alot from doing them. Especially about the color "green". LOL

Wow, great job Rose and it looks quite technically challenging too with all those straight lines. Great reflections and background too.

Thanks everyone. Andrea - yes it was challenging and believe me, the straight lines were not the most enjoyable parts of it!

Miranda and Martina.. and anyone else who is attempting any of these images but hasn't had time to finish yet - it's ok. If you wish we can extend this challenge a little further. As it happens we have no volunteers yet for a next one.

Since I made so much fun of her I had to attempt to draw her as well I used a 4H and a charcoal pencil..some creativity ..a little love ...a definite lack of sleep and made it as small as possible so that the pigeon doesn't look like a raven

That's very nice Tim. Even in such a small drawing you still captured the whole essence of the scene. Andrea: Thank you - any time in November would be fine.

Here are my grapes I think they still need more work, But I'm taken a little brake from them cause they were starting to make my eyes hurt a bit. I also did the background darker then the photo Tim great drawing
